7. Household ownership and access to ICT

This section presents the results of the 2011 Botswana Population and Housing Census (BPHC) with respect to household ownership and access to information and communication technology.

7.1 Household ownership of a Radio

The proportion of households with a radio in Botswana stood at 61.5 percent of total households in 2011 as opposed to 67.6 percent in 2001. This reduction may be explained by the fact that nowadays computers, television sets and mobile cellular telephones consists of embedded radios. See Figure 8.1 below and Table 19 in the appendix.

Table 6: Contribution of Communication & Postal Services To Gross Domestic Product, 2006 - 2014

7.2 Household ownership of a Television set

With respect to household ownership of television sets, the 2011 BPHC showed a different story from that of household ownership of a radio. Households with a television sets as a proportion of total households in Botswana, increased more than two folds in 2011. It rose from 25.1 percent recorded in 2001 to 54.1 percent in 2011. Unlike household ownership of a radio which has reduced over the ten year period, household ownership of television sets has instead increased. This is also shown in Figure 8.1 below and Table 19 in the appendix.

7.3 Household ownership of a fixed telephone

According to the 2011 Botswana Population and Housing Census, the proportion of households with access toafixedtelephoneaccountedfor10.8percentofallhouseholdsinBotswanaascomparedto33.5percentrecordedinthe2001BPHC.Thisshowedadecreaseof22.7percent.However,thefallisnotonlyreflectedintheproportionbutalsointheactualnumberofhouseholdsowningafixedtelephone.Householdswithaworkingfixedtelephonedecreasedfrom135,546householdscountedin2001to59,672in2011,showingareduction of 75,874 households.

7.4 Households with individuals who own a mobile cellular telephone

As per the 2011 BPHC, the proportion of households with individuals who own a mobile cellular telephone amounted to 90 percent of total households in Botswana. They numbered 494,344 households out of a total of 550,919 households. Questions on ownership of mobile cellular telephones by individuals was not included In the 2001 BPHC because mobile cellular telephones were still new in Botswana, as such there is no comparison between the 2011 and 2001 BPHC of mobile cellular telephone ownership. However, according to the household surveys held between 2003 and 2008, the use and ownership of mobile cellular telephones has been increasing at an alarming rate. This is illustrated in Figure 8.2 below.


7.5 Households ownership of a computer(desktop or laptop)

Figure 7 and Table 19 show that ownership of a computer by households has seen a 16.9 percent increase with regards to the proportion of households owning a computer. The proportion rose from 4 percent in 2001 to 20.9 percent in 2011. Numerically, households which own a computer increased exponentially from 16,155 households counted in 2001 to 114,896 households in 2011.


7.6 Proportion of household ownership and access of ICT from population and Housing Censuses and Surveys

Table 19 shows the overall ownership and access of Information and Communication Technology in house-holds from the 2001 and 2011 Population and Housing Censuses and the surveys which were carried out between 2001 and 2011 which included data collection on ICT ownership.


There is a significant growth in ownership of ICT for households in almost all the indicators. Access andownership of television, cellphone, computer and radio have been increasing over the years. A decline was observedintheaccessandownershipofradiosduetotheimproveduseoftechnolgyinrecentyears;nowcellphones and televisions have radio accessibility.

Table 20 illustrates household access and ownership of ICT indicators by gender. There is a high percentage of access and ownership amongst males as compared to females for all the ICT indicators in all the years as shown below.
